Hi Alan.
a Kop story
i was at Anfield for the 1969 game and we were stood in the Anfield Road end, the away end as such, and before the game started, the Kopites invaded the pitch in their hundreds and rushed towards us..The stewards and Police formed a line in front of our 18 yard goal-line and forced the idiots back down the pitch and back into the Kop.
it wasn’t always fun for us away fans, with the 1960’s Kop waving their scarfs in happy singalongs about kicking our heads in.
misty-eyed reminiscences about the 1960’S can leave out a lot.
so please dont forget the ugly stuff, it’s part of the history as much as the glory.
